Today, Mega Movie Week returns in Germany with a huge selection of top titles to download and keep at reduced prices for one week only.
The campaign will drive digital growth by targeting those new to digital transaction, encouraging them to begin to build their collections, as well as encouraging current customers to increase their frequency of purchase by taking advantage of limited time promotional prices.
From February 13th to 19th, the campaign will run across 10 leading digital retailers, following its hugely successful German debut in May 2021.
